Here are 6 ways to deal with negative people.
Dealing with negative people can be challenging, but several ways to manage the situation effectively exist.
Here are six strategies you can use:
Set boundaries:
One way to deal with negative people is to establish boundaries that protect your emotional well-being.
This could mean limiting your interactions with them or avoiding specific topics you know will trigger negativity.Practice empathy:
Try to understand where the negative person is coming from and what might be causing their negativity.
By showing empathy, you can often diffuse the situation and create a more positive dynamic.Reframe the conversation:
Instead of getting pulled into a negative conversation, reframe it more positively.
For example, if the person is complaining about their job, you could ask them what they enjoy about their work instead.Use positive language:
When interacting with negative people, try to use positive language and focus on the good in the situation.
This can help shift the conversation in a more positive direction.Don't take it personally:
It's important to remember that someone else's negativity is not necessarily a reflection of you.
Do not take their comments or behaviour personally; instead, focus on your reactions and responses.Consider ending the relationship:
If the negativity is persistent and affecting your well-being, it may be necessary to end it.
While this can be a difficult decision, it's essential to prioritize your emotional health and well-being.
Spending time with negativity will eventually drag you down.
Learning how to deal with it without being contaminated by that negative energy is in your best interests.
It's hard to remember that the aim is to drain the swamp when you're up to your backside in alligators.

The previous text-to-voice generation tools were not good at putting colour in their voices.
This one seems to do an excellent job of that.
Play it and let me know.
By the way, I made this video in the free version of Canva.
I was hurrying to finish it, so it's rougher than I usually produce.
